Director Edo Bertoglio
Stars Jean Michel Basquiat, Deborah Harry, David McDermott, Kid Creole & the Coconuts
Certificate NC
Running time 75 minutes
Made USA 2000

A fictional film in which Basquiat stars as himself (are we following this?!), this was filmed in 1981 at a point where the artist was unexhibited and using the streets as his canvas. Taking in performances from cutting edge bands of their time (including Kid Creole) this looks set to be a document of early '80's as much as it is a record of a day in the life of Jean Michel Basquiat.
